in this state, is a fresh proof that neither science nor human foresight and eare can give entire immunity from this form of danger. Since the first railroad track wiu laid in the United States there have been a treat number of these horrors. But despite the general impression to the contrary the loss of life on American railroads has not been greater in proportion than it has ia Europe. ed by a narrow jet galloon. The waist was plain French, withelt, and the Elceves gigot, with wrinkles at the wrists and short rolling cuffs faced with satin.

To wear with it was a shoulder cape of the poplin, with a box plaiting of the satin headed by the galloon and with a deep black kco ruGe. The little cape wa3 stiffened to fit the neck without collar, and at each scam was a band of galloon, and the neck seams were left open at the top to allow a very full ruffle of black laco to fall through. The hat was a white French chip trimmed with pink roses, pink ostrich tip and bows and crown of mordore velvet and strings of the same made double on the bias and pinned under the chin. Few cotton frocks are worn at Southend, as the moist uir is not well for such, but all the tweeds, light cheviots and Scotch mixtures are worn with silk as a setoff for best. Moire gowns made in the prevailing 6tyles are very much worn, the entire gown being made of it, with a figure of passementerie or velvet, or some other rich material.

I saw one today with a border of red fox fur around tho bottom, it being but two shades lighter than the brown moire.

There are cliffs at Sonthend at the upper part and quite a flourishing village.

It is but one season since "all London awoke to the beauty of Southend as a summer resort, and it had the added advantage of being rather more exclusive than Bath or Brighton or any one of the English resorts, and this season the hotels and "willas" are crowded with the best English society. Shoeburyness being so near, there is always a brilliant military element. The drives around are of the most beautiful.

The last of the six greatest ac-i-clents, the "Ctatswonh disaster," ia respects was worte even than tne Ashtabula wreck, though it lacked of the terrors of Know, ice and water whkrh added so much to tho horrors of the hio holocaust. On the cicjht of Wedm-scay, Anc. 10, 1SS7, at 40 niinateji aft-r a o'clock, a large excursion, trxm, 17 cars, packed with a happy throng of ple.isnre Sfker-s dashed by the Chatsworth (Ills.) station cf the Toledo, Peoria and Western railroad at a hijh rate of speed. The train by two of the heaviest engines on the road and was bound tor Niugra Falls. Shortly after the Chatsworth station, at which no stop was made, had Ik-cq passed, the engineer of the forward loconutive-snw flames lapping at the stringers a short trestle work which led across a dry cut some 10 feet deep.

Instinctively he reversed his lever, but in the next moment he saw that it would be impossible with the heavy train behind to stop before he danger spot was reached. The only chance lay iu a dash for safety, and throwing his lever back again he put on every pound of steam, and the cars fairly made a leap ahead. But neither speed nor caution could save the train. The flames had undermined the woodwork of the trestle, and it gave way as soon as the weight c.f the first engine struck It. Then ensued an awful scene.

The 6o0 people on board were thrown iu the midst of the wreck, pinioned under the frame work of the shattered vehicles. A few of the passengers remained uninjured, bnt tire broke out like a flash ia a dozen different places. When morning came, the shattered train was still bhizing. After the wreck was finally cleared away it was found that 76 persons had been killed. Three hundred and fifty passengers were injured, a majority of them severely, and for months the affair hung like a pall over what had been one of the happiest and most prosperous stretches of country in the west.

Compared with thU errible calamity most of the so called minor accidents which have from time to time shocked the country seem small, but taken together they make a most formidable list The most important of them are as follows: Nov. 1, 1855 The bridge over the Gasconade river on the Missouri i'acitic we nt down under the first train run through to Jeilersoii City; 20 killed, 80 Injured.

"My God What Did You Shoot Me For." These are the Words That Iiaumgard-ner Addressed to His Assailant'. The antl mortepi statement made by PaulBaumgardnertakoii by Squire Walker of Stiiekshinny, at 3 a. m. to-day, is in substance as follows: He worked till dark or nearly 9 o'clock. He came homo and had supper, afterwards going down to the depot to see an excursion train pass.

About that time he had one glass of porter in Turner's saloon. Then be came as far as the Presbyterian ehurch where he met Bill McDaniels and another maa who were passing with two kegs of beer in a wheelbarrow. Ho watched thorn go up on the hill and thought they were going" to George Crumley's. He came down the road a piece and then thought ho would go back to see the fun and have some of the beer. When he got to the Crumley house he looked in the window and saw three women and a man in the house, neither ot whom he knew.

The Crumby boys were not in and he started to go away. As he did the door opened, when he was 16 feet away from tne house, and under a grape arbor. A woman came to the door and she began calling a small dog, which she began to set on him. At the same time she called out: "Charlie, come out quick." She went back in the house and got a revolver, which she gavo to Charlie and told him to shoot. Baurogardner was getting out of the lot as lively as he could at this time.

Charlie run after him and when he got near and just as iiuum-gurdner was about to get outside the fence the 6hot was fired. The ball entered about opposite the left kidney and lodged in the lining of the stomach about 1 inches higher on the opposite Bide. After he was shot he turned round and went back to the man and said: "My God1, what did you shoot me for?" The man grabbed him by the throat and threw hi outside the gate saying: "you get out of here." Neither party nad spoken a word previous to that which is related, and before the shot was fired, and Chamberlain did not say anything except what he said when he threw Baumgaraueraout of the gite. They did not know each other and the wounded man did not know any of the occupants of the house. When Chamberlin was asked about the shooting he did not deny it, but said Bauragardner bad no business on his lot.

The revolver was found in the bosom ot the woman, who is called Jennie Flowers and who came from Wilkes-Barre a day or two ago. The party were cute enough to put another ball in the weapon, but the bail found in the body was similar to'those used in the revolver found on the woman a 82 long, centre fire. Tl Flower woman bears a hard name and Chamberlin had come to see her. Constable tianey brought the pair to the county jail in this city to-day at noon. Baumgarden says he will not get well.

For some years after the railroads had begun business they enjoyed a sinjulur exemption from serious accidents as compared with the European corporations, and it was not until 1S53 that a really great calamity occurred. When it came, however, it made up for lost time, and the shock of it hail an adverse effect on railroad travel and growth for several years afterward. It occurred on the morning of May 6 at Sonth Norwalk, on tho Xew York, New Hu ven and Hartford, and cost 4C lives. The Boston express from New Y'ork was rushing along at a high rate of speed when it went through an open draw in the bridge which spanned the river about 250 feet east of the South Norwalk station. It was a bright, fine, clear day, and there was absolutely no reason why the accident should have happened, except the carelessness of the engineer in charge of the locomotive, who should have seen the open draw.

For 15 minutes before the train was due the bridge tender had displayed the tignal "open draw" to enable the steamboat Pacific to pass, but it was only a moment before the train went down that the reckless engineer realized the Impending danger, and both he and his fireman jumped In time to escape with slight injuries. As for the passengers, the first intimation of peril they had was when they felt themselves going over the abutment. The train consisted ot two baggage cars and five coaches carrying 256 people. With the exception of the three last coaches the entire train plunged into the stream below, which was at high tide, the top of the water being only 12 feet from the stringers. Most of the unfortunates killed were drowned like rats in a trap.

Four years later, on March 12, 1857, came an accident which cost 60 lives, and though it occurred in Canada on the Toronto and Hamilton railroad it caused almost as great a shock in the United States as it did in British America. Among the killed was Samuel Zimmerman, one of the widest and best known men in the Dominion, and a number of the officials of the road. In this case the engine ran off the track. The weight of the ponderous machine as it struck the bridge timbers cut through them as thoujjh they were so many pipestems, and the engine, tender, baggage car and two coaches were predpitated to the bottom of the canal, 60 feet below. Everybody on the train was either killed instantly or so badly injured that they could not render any assistance, and it was some time before help came from Hamilton.

Finally, however, when the people did arrive, they were almost powerless to bring succor to the dying, for the wreck lay piled up between two precipitous walls 00 feet below. It was not until ropes had been secured that the rescuers could do anything toward extricating the 15 or 20 persons who still remained alive. On June 29, 1SC4, there occurred another dreadful accident in Canada, this time costing nearly 100 human lives, and making the record for American railroad disasters. The train which came to grief consisted of 11 emigrant cars on the Grand Trunk railway. It besides the train hands 356 people, and like the Norwalk wreck, the accident was due to the gross negliKence of the engineer, who, disregarding the warning signals, ran through an open draw on the Beloit bridge at St.

Hilaire, about 19 miles from Montreal. The scene of the wreck, as described by eyewitnesses, wa3 something terrible. The cars fell in 10 feet of water and were only partially submerged. But the height from which they tumbled, about 70 feet, smashed them into kindling wood, and when the rescuers put in an appearance they found an indescribable mass of splintered wood, iron and human remains, all Jammed together in a solid heap. Ninety-five bodies were recovered, and 100 injured were taken out of the wreck.

Among the latter was the guilty engineer, who went down with his engine, but was not fatally hurt. In the next great accident, which came to be known as the "Angola horror," fire added to the terrors of the situation. The New York express from Cleveland on the Lake Shore rend had been delayed, and with a clear road ahe )il was running under a full head of steam to make up lost time. It was midwinter, Dec. 18, 1S07, and the rails were covered with snow and ice.

At Big Sisters bridge, a quarter of a mile est of Angola, N. a wheel broke under the last coach, and the car went tumbling over the embankment. Only 12 passengers were rescued, all of whom were badly hurt. The rest, 48 in number, were cither crushed or burned to death, the remains being generally charred beyond recognition. The "Ashtabula disaster" came next, on Dec.

24, 1876. In this frightful accident all the elements seemed combined for the occasion to render the scene more terrible. It was pitch dark and the snow wag falling ia a dense cloud as the ill fated train, the west bound express on the Lake Shore, Approached the big Iron bridge which crossed the Ashtabula creek in Ohio, 75 feet above the water. Because of the intense cold and heavy snowfall, the train, composed of seven coaches and pulled by two powerful engines, was going at a moderate rate of speed. Suddenly, without a moment's warning, and just as the foremost engine had reached solid ground again, there was a deafening crash, and the next instant the entire train, with the exception of the first engine, lay at the bottom of the shallow creek, tht bank towering there 70 feet above.

The bridge had given way. Under th strain of the Intense cold, the structure had none down as soon as the full weight of the train was brought to bear on It. There was a thick coating of ice on th creek, fully 2 feet thick, through which the cars and engine crashed as though it wn an eggshell with a second crash almost as great as the breaking of the bridge. For a few moments after this everything waa still down in that terrible chasm, and then arose the screams of the imprisoned occupants of the cars who still remained alive. The railroad station was only a short distance away, and help arrived almost instantly, but before the first spectator came on the scene fire had broken out 4a the wreck, and soon the flames were greedily licking up all the woodwork that remained out of water.

There were 147 persons pn ths train, and. strange to say. 73 wer rescued "1 river la so wiao inai me snore on me other side looks like a vague shadow that fashion has set its seal this year, and strolling on the sands, lounging on the long covered pier, or sitting under the trees up on the cliffs, or listening to the band which plays afternoon and evening you will see the highest style of English fashions, which, though having origin on the continent, are imbued with something of the spirit of Albion and are very beautiful. You will see a tall, fair girl, with that lovely complexion rarely found away from this climate, come walking along in a gown of pale blue china silk with little rings of cherry color all over it. It is cut with an ample width and slightly gathered at the waist The skirt is cut out in deep scallops, and these are headed by a black lace Below this falls a full gathered flounce, and set upon that is a very full rude of white lace "run" with black silk and headed by the black lace insertion.

Two rows of the same encircle the forearm part of the sleeves, which are balloon, with full caps of the same kind of hand run lace. The waist is gathered front and back and has pos-ticho revers of blue bengaline the exact shade of the dress. The belt is also of blue bengaline. The hat is indescribable, but is bound with the black lace over tho white straw, and a bunch of field flowers and grasses ornaments the top. Tho parasol is of a faint rose, with a very full chiffon rufile, and is tied with a cherry colored bow.

Walking daintily on the hard, yellow sand is another type, and her gown is of dark gray serge, with a bluish under-gloam, which produces a hard and cold effect exceedingly rigid and proper. The skirt ia made double and cut in half circles, which gives it tho admired fullness at the bottom and severity of outline at the top. There are a vest of dark blue surah and sash of the same and a sort of Eton jacket that hangs open, but can be buttoned if the wind is too cool. The are tho regulation gigot, with a braided forearm. There is a sort of mo-dicis collar to the jacket that lends a 6tylo peculiarly its own.

The bonnet is raadc of two vvido alsatian bows held by a jotted butterfly. This is for afternoon promenaJe. For mornings tho glazed sailor hat is almost do rignenr. I have noticed many sailor hats covered with the material from which the gowns were fashioned, apparently made by a regular hatter, as it is laid on perfectly smooth. A nar- THE BELLES OF SOUTHEND.

row silver or gold ribbon band was sewn around tho hat and fastened with a neat bucklo when this was the case. Fine elastics are used to hold them on, as English ladies consider hatpins injurious to the hair and frequent producers of headache. The bathing at Southend is done as at Brighton and Bath. There are little pavilions on wheels that are rolled down to the edgo of the water, whether it is high or low tide, and the bather steps from the soclusion of her temporary dressing room into the water. There is never any very heavy surf, but still it is quite sufficient to give a good reaction.

The costumes of tho bathers vary but slightly, I fancy, from those in America, They run mostly to blue flannel or serge and have blouso and skirt and loose trousers, but we do not wear stockings, though we do wear sandals to protect our feet from sharp shells. It is on. the promenade that the best toilets are worn. I saw one of England's proudeBt beauties walking by, clad in a pearl gray cheviot "dead fine." The skirt was plain, very full in the back and with three rows of narrow gold braid for sole trimming. The coat waa cut ery full to fall in deep natural folds, and it was bordered with three lines of gold braid.

There was a rolling collar, and it had six elegantly chased gold buttons at the waist. The sleeves were, medium gigot, with turnback cuffs. The coat was lined with pink glace silk, and the vest front was of the same, with pink silk muslin ruffles. Her hat waa pearl gray felt in partly Alpine shape nd trinyned with a gray wing and two Oreille's d'ane of gray velyet. Another notable costume was a gown pf mode poplin, with a black lace flounce at the bottom beaded by a box plaiting of satin of thesame shade, and this head is IH.

I' if ELEGANT GOWNS FOB SOUTHEND. The tailor made, gown in shepherd'B checks or pinhead checks, or in hair line stripe or mixtures are all seen and regarded as entirely correct. Black cloth tailor finished and trimmed with one or two very narrow lines of gold embroidery and with tiny round or very large flat gold buttons is considered very elegant, but a gown of this kind requires very careful treatment or it will appear shabby very soon. I think I will close this letter now, as the band has begun to play, and I have a pretty new frock myself to wear, and so goodby. Maey Derwent.

Southend, England. CARE OF INVALIDS. If They Are Men, They Will Be Neither Polite Nor Grateful. How mueh a little tact and delicacy in the sickroom contribute to the soothing of an invalid's sensitive nerves! The most faithful and affectionate nurse, who would give her life to save the patient pain, is often guilty of some small, unconscious act that frets the ill person beyond endurance. If anybody who is likely to be called upon to attend the sick and most of us are liable to bo placed ia that position sooner or later would bear in mind tho following bits of advice, deduced from the impatient utterances of an imtablo invalid, it mifjhl help both the sick person and the nurse: Do not ask a very ill man what you shall do for him.

The doctor has already given tho proper directions, and if tho patient wants any other attendance that is not so obvious that you can give it without questioning him he will ask for it unprompted. Do not breathe in his face or' bans over him. Ho needs all the fresh air he can get. Do not press your hand upon hi3 brow. It sounds well in novels, but it is quite possible that your hand Beems to him to weigh a ton.

Do not touch him unnecessarily at all, unless he indicates that ho desires it. Do not ask him every half hour how ho ftels. Take it for granted that ho docs not feel well. Do not keep telling him that he is better, for if he is he will know it quite as soon as you do, and if he is not it will merely vex him. Donot attempt to lift him unless you are strong enough, to do so without hurting him.

Abortive efforts to raise him Cause him pain and irritation. He civn take food lying down, provided that yon feed him through a glass tube bent at a right angle, instead of pouring his beef tea or milk into the bosom of his nightgown with a spoon. And speaking of spoons, wash the inedkine spoon every timo it is used, that the dregs of the previous dose may not offend him. Do not interfere, no matter how quietly, with his private belongings, unless ho wishes it. It annoys him intensely to think that his small properties are being examined and rearranged.

If you cannot control your agitation, keep out of his sight and hearing until you can. If he has his senses, do not treat him like an infant, smile at his whims or disregard his reasonable wishes. Above all, do not espect him to be polite, grateful or even civil, no matter if you are sacrificing your comfort and enduring anxiety for his sake. If he is cross, do not tell him eo or be hurt by the fact, for he is suffering, and hi3 nerves ere in a state of rebellion. Ko-member that he is not responsible for it ind that it is your duty to be consider-ite and patient for both.
